Death Valley National Park
Dante's View
Dante's View, at 5,475 feet at the crest of the Black Mountains, is one of the most famous photographic spots in Death Valley. Dante's looks almost straight down on the lowest point in North America, Badwater, and across the sparkling salt flats of Death Valley to Telescope Peak in the Panamints and the Sierra Mountains 100 miles to the west.  
 
The salt stretches across the floor of Death Valley  

Did You Know?
The salt pan on the floor of Death Valley covers more than 200 square miles. It is 40 miles long and more than 5 miles wide.
